London Day 2: Singin’ in the Rain (AKA Tears of Joy)

I thought Hillary was being poetic when she told us we would “cry tears of joy” after seeing this. However, I must say before intermission when the signature number comes on, and he starts to sing and dance in what was nothing short of 1 foot of water kicking and splashing the audience while dancing and singing, there was nothing but laughter and joy as we watching those in front get soaked and screech! I laughed so hard I cried, and I couldn’t get the smile off my face throughout intermission, and my cheeks hurt from more smiling than my muscles were used to (and I’m a pretty happy girl!).

I didn’t think anything could ever come close to that number, but then the whole cast came out at the end, they filled the stage again, and everyone sang and danced and got the audience even more soaked.

The tears of joy were a very real thing, this was one of the most beautifully happy moments of my life ever produced by art.
